We Are Geelong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We Are Geelong is the song sung after a game won by Australian rules football club Geelong Football Club. To the tune of Toreador from Carmen. Traditionally, only the first part is sung.

[edit] Lyrics

 We are Geelong, the greatest team of all, 
 We are Geelong, we're always on the ball, 
 We play the game as it should be played, 
 At home or far away, 
 Our banners fly on high from dawn to dark, down at Kardinia Park

 So! Stand up and fight, remember our tradition
 so stand up and fight, it's always our ambition
 throughout the game we fight with all our might
 Because we are the mighty blue and white
 and from when the ball is bounced, to the final bell
 STAND UP AND FIGHT LIKE HELL!

Written by Geelong Football Club Premiership Player (1963) John K. Watts

[edit] Meaning

"At home or far away" refers to the team's ability to win games both at their home ground and at any other away venues. Kardinia Park refers to Geelong's home ground. "We're always on the ball" means that they always have the the ball, not that they are always on top of the ball.
